Alterations
Bibliographic record
Abstract
rior to releasing a call for papers for contributions to the Intonations' themed issue, "Alterations: Art, Performance, and Creation at a Time of Global Pandemic," we worked through several deliberations.Mainly, we pondered the parameters of the themed issue.The Editorial Board and Editors-in-Chief agreed to focus on the prevailing social, political, and economic adjustments brought by Covid-19 realities.Hence the title, "Alterations."No one was emancipated from the widespread feelings of apprehension about the future and strength of our relations, practices, and systems in the world.This has been a time of vast uncertainty and unprecedented transformation on global, national, regional, and trans-institutional scales.The implications of Covid-19 permeate myriad discussions on the necessity to rethink, reconstitute, and broaden our approaches and practices as visual artists, designers, musicians, performers, and academics.The communal experience of massive death and physical isolation happening at a time of a global racial reckoning (from the world witnessing the murder of George Floyd on camera) compels us to engage with the awakening of a collective global conscience which surpasses the understanding of what Covid-19 has inflicted upon us.In this monumental turn in human history, we attempt, in this issue, to reflect on our responses to evolving cultural practices and perspectives in the Arts.A diverse group of contributors have offered us more than we could have imagined.They have encouraged us to ponder about the questions: What is the role of the Arts in a pandemic world? In what ways does Covid-19 revolutionize our understanding of what we do as professionals of the Arts? Do we face existential threats? What has been taken away from us and what must we re-cultivate in order to maintain a continuity of particular disciplinary practices? Can our disciplines withstand these alterations, and at what cost? And how can we conceive of "community" as a socio-political site upon which disparate individuals are tangibly connected?The themed issue unveils, prevailingly interdisciplinary artists and scholars, who have managed to sustain their work during a time of extraordinary adversity.P

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
